Internet Safety Twenty years ago, kids in school had never even heard of the Internet. Now, it’s impossible to find a single person in your school who hasn't at least heard of it. In fact, many of us use it on a regular basis and even have access to it from our homes. In the word Internet, “net” stands for network. A network is two or more computers connected together so that 5
information can be shared, or sent from one computer to another. The Internet is a vast resource for all types of information. You can use it to do research for a school project, to download your favourite songs or to communicate with friends and family. You can find information through web pages that companies, organizations and individuals create and post. It's kind of like a giant bulletin board that the whole world uses! But since anyone can

put anything on the Internet, you have to be careful and use good judgment and a little common sense when you use it. Just because you read something on a piece of paper someone sticks on a bulletin board doesn't mean it is good information, or correct. So you have to be sure that whoever posts the information knows what they're talking about, especially if you're doing research! But what
15
if you're just emailing people? You still have to be very careful. If you've never met the person that you're communicating with online, you could be on dangerous ground. You should never give out any personal information to someone you don't know, not even your name. And just like you can't believe the information on every website out there, you can't rely on what strangers you 'meet' on the Internet tell you either. Just like you could make up

things about yourself to tell someone, someone else could do the same to you! Steve Gagnon from Jefferson Lab. Glossary: Bulletin board
